| 57cca16 | Sneaking through both the Keep's and Citadel's gates without a large animal is hard enough, love. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| fa0bc06 | Valek? You have no smell. No aura,' Leif said. 'Is he a simpleton?' Valek asked me. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| ceaca82 | Apple? You've grazed all night. How can you still be hungry? Always room for apple. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 206c7c9 | Ooh, guard horses. How quaint. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| d3d9851 | Worrying can not change anything. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| d4829ac | on occasion logic does not win against emotions. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| f107abb | It has made you smarter, Leif said. Then he added, not much smarter, but we can still hope for improvement. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 0ab1a95 | Curtains are funny?' 'In comparison to all my other thoughts, yes, curtains can be amusing. But you, sir, are the best thing that's happened to me all day, all week, and, now that I think about it, all season. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 8ed12ef | Sarcasm? You've been hanging around with Leif too long. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| ce2578c | Death was not the end. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| c81eeca | Perhaps Valek would show up and we could get reacquainted in the straw. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 273ac13 | Relax, Mitch. I'll get us there in one piece. After we jump the chasm of death, we're home free." "Funny," he deadpanned. "I don't suppose you have another helmet?" "Nope. But if we do crash, I'll aim for the right side to even out your injuries." He gave her a wry grin. "Enduring poor attempts at humour is better than being dead." Night Vision" | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 109af00 | Are you brave enough to expand your nocturnal activities, and work with a partner?" "It depends." His smile faltered. "On what?" "On how close of a partnership you're talking about." He pulled her towards him. Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her. "Is this close enough?" Instead of answering, she led him to her dark bedroom. "You can get closer. How's your night vision?" Mitch grinned. "Excellent." Night Vision" | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 7438c1f | Of course the right key had to be the third to last one I tried. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 1c55bda | Finding you became more important than living my own life. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 2a2ecb0 | The promised meal consisted of beef stew served in a bowl made of bread. 'Less to wash,' Opal's mother said with a grin. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| a49115a | You can't let the past ruin your future. Let's call it even and start anew. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 4b345ca | We are careful with our seeds of life. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| b9f810c | It was my turn to groan. Dress shopping with Kade's mother. Kill me now. The alternative- arriving home without a gown- was equally unappealing. "Okay, but I'm taking my switchblade along." "To defend yourself against my mother?" He asked with an incredulous tone. "No. To slit my throat if the day goes badly." He laughed. "Make sure you don't bleed in front of her. She faints at the sight of blood." I'm so glad you have your priorities stra.. | kade opal-cowan | Maria V. Snyder | |
| 8976fcf | Is it considered improper if Valek and I...? You know.' 'Yelena,' Leif said with mock indignation. 'Don't tell me you and Valek--' 'Just answer the question. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 15fe218 | Tell them what? That we lost them? I'd rather tell them Tauno is afraid of heights and Moon Man is claustrophobic. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 9e5fd84 | I had plenty to worry about without creating phantom worries. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| c079b25 | Do Story Weavers sign a contract or make a blood oath to be difficult and stubborn and a pain in the ass? | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 0d8b152 | Moon Man's breathing rasped. 'Go back. We should...go back.' He panted. 'Bad idea. Bad idea. Bad idea. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 4966b23 | Moon Man's panic attack when he had become wedged for a moment had set everyone's mood on edge. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| e930680 | It's pointless to worry...It's more prudent to prepare for all possibilities than fret. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 4be50d8 | I'd rather have freckles than be bald! | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 06c4e0b | I can be corrupt.' Valek looked over at Janco and the others. 'Not in front of the children, love. But I'll hold you to that. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| bd12000 | You ever notice how couples start to look alike?' In a deadpan, Valek replied, 'Yes. In fact, I was just thinking how much you and Topaz resemble each other. It's uncanny. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 1425b1c | I stared at my bat, trying and failing to connect to Valek. My desire to talk to him, to hold him, clawed at my body. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 5ec7e47 | You want to save me from them so you can force me to lead you to one of the glass prisons. I'll release the Warper trapped inside and you can learn how to finish the Kirakawa ritual." "That's not why. Although you don't appear bothered by that scenario." I shrugged. "At least the Council would believe a Warper still lives and others are using blood magic." "But people would die," he said in shock. I almost laughed out loud at how we had rev.. | Maria v Snyder | ||

| 578a721 | But that was the problem with grief. No one ever asked for it. It arrived with its bags already packed for an extended stay. It settled into your best guest room and demanded to be waited on all day long, and when it finally shuffled out the door, it left behind permanent scratches on your furniture. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 53840c5 | Surprise touched Kade's eyes for a moment before he resumed his bland manner. "Sparks are similar to lightning strikes and are harmful if you get too close. Also the problem with thunderstorms, they move with the wind and have other ... ah ... obligations. It's best for you to bask in the steady sunshine." | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 86bcdef | I searched the plateau. Where was the Sandseed army? The earth undulated as if the sand had liquefied. The waves on the ground grew. I clamped a hand over my mouth to stifle a cry of surprise. Row upon row of Sandseed warriors stood. Camouflaged to match the sand, they had been lying on the ground in front of us and I hadn't noticed them. | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 85d4830 | Living is a risk," I snapped at him. "Every decision, every interaction, every step, every time you get out of bed in the morning, you take a risk. To survive is to know you're taking that risk and to not get out of bed clutching illusions of safety." "Your view of life doesn't sound comforting." "It's not supposed to. That's the whole point." | Maria V. Snyder | ||
| 9b5fa95 | knowing nothing can get you humiliated and knowing a little bit can get you killed, but knowing all of it will bring you power. | David Bradley | ||
| 51c9d02 | this also explains why the amazingly lifelike Al Gore, over in the Democratic race, has been so relentlessly Negative and depressing in his attacks on Bill Bradley. Since Gore, like the Shrub, has his party's Establishment behind him, with all its organization and money and the Diehards who'll fall into line and vote as they're told, it's in Big Al's (and his party's bosses') interest to draw as few voters as possible into the Democratic pr.. | David Foster Wallace | ||
| 50f050c | The geneticist Daniel Bradley and his colleagues identified a Y-chromosome type that is present in two to three million people today and derives from an ancestor who lived around fifteen hundred years ago.16 It is especially common in people with the last name O'Donnell, who descend from one of the most powerful royal families of medieval Ireland, the "Descendants of Niall"--referring to Niall of the Nine Hostages, a legendary warlord from .. | David Reich | ||
| aea397d | La paura e peggio del castigo; perche alla fine il castigo e qualcosa di determinato e, sia pesante o meno, e sempre meglio della spaventosa incertezza, della tremenda tensione che si prolunga all'infinito. | Stefan Zweig | ||
| 6b75bc4 | the California case, the rhythms of tax reduction are strong indicators of structural change and, as table 3 demonstrates, show how the Keynesian state's delegitimation accumulated in waves, culminating, rather than originating, in Tom Bradley's 1982 and 1986 gubernatorial defeats. The first wave, or capital's wave, is indicated by the 50 percent decline in the ratio of bank and corporation taxes to personal income taxes between 1967 and 19.. | Ruth Wilson Gilmore | ||

| b2e07f5 | David Brock, a conservative apostate who became a liberal activist, described the Heritage Foundation, where he was a young fellow, as almost completely under the thumb of its wealthy sponsors. In his tell-all book Blinded by the Right, he writes, "I saw how right-wing ideology was manufactured and controlled by a small group of powerful foundations" like Smith Richardson, Adolph Coors, Lynde and Harry Bradley, and John M. Olin." | Jane Mayer | ||
| e5d541b | Do you have any quotes that you live your life by or think of often? [Among others] "The future is already here--it's just unevenly distributed."--William Gibson "If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner."--Omar N. Bradley * What is the worst advice you see or hear given in your trade or area of expertise? "If you have nothing to hide, then you don't have to worry about.. | Timothy Ferriss |
